Outline and Purpose of the Course	Fundamental concept of static and dynamic stability of large-scale structures such as bridges is to be introduced in addition to the way to keep/improve their safety and to evaluate their performance. Basic concept of structural stability and its application and technical subjects to improve safety will be lectured systematically. Furthermore, the practical solutions to the subjects are to be introduced to assure the safety of structures.
Course Goals	The class aims to cultivate the understanding of static and dynamic stability problems for structural system and make understand the methodology to clarify the limit state. To get knowledge on countermeasures to assure the stability which is applicable to practical design and manufacturing will be also required.
Schedule and Contents	Elastic Stability under Static Loading(8) Stability of Structures and Failures Basis of Structural Stability Elastic Buckling of Columns Elastic Buckling of Beams & Frames Elastic Torsional Buckling of Beams Elastic Buckling of Plates Elasto-plastic Buckling Buckling Analysis Basic Theory of Dynamic Stability(3) Dynamic Response Characteristics of Structural System State Equation of Motion with Nonlinearities in External, Damping and Restoring Force, Stability around Equilibrium Points Examples of Structural Instability under Dynamic Loadings(3) Instability under Nonconservative Force Instability under Periodical Force Instability under Impact Force Achievement Check(1) Summary and Achievement Check
Evaluation Methods and Policy	Grading will be evaluated by written examination(80%), reports(10%) and attendance(10%).
Course Requirements	It is desired for participants to master structural mechanics, continuum mechanics, mathematical analysis as well as vibration theory.
